As in there is a zero percent chance I’ll ever do a challenge like the A to Z Challenge EVER again in my life.

While it was fun in the beginning, soon it became a daunting task. Those who kept up daily without a problem… that’s amazing.

For me, blogging (and writing in general) has always been something I enjoyed and used as a stress-reliever and a way to express what I’m thinking. With that said, there is no way I could do this every day… and

While I was able to read other people’s blogs for the first couple of days, soon it became impossible. Which means, I’ll probably spent the next month reading other people’s A to Z Challenge posts haha. Not even kidding.

My next blog post (whenever it may be) will be back to normal. No more challenges (or at least not long-term ones)!

Yes, I got up at 4 A.M. this morning to watch the wedding of Prince William and Kate.

Did you?

How could I not? I LOVE weddings! AND it’s a royal wedding!

I have to say, I loved Kate’s dress and its simplicity.

I was quite surprised her dress was able to remain a secret until the revealing moment in this day and age of technology and up to the minute news.

And how about those hats? Definitely saw some weird interesting ones. Some were nice, don’t get me wrong, but others were… not my taste? I thought it was interesting that pretty much 99% of the women that they showed were wearing a hat at the wedding.

Here’s to hoping for a long and happy marriage for the two of them!

As a young child, one day I was playing with coins (money) on my bed (don’t ask me why) at night. Sometime soon after, I fell asleep. When I woke up sometime later that night, the coins weren’t next to me anymore.

I asked my parents whether they had moved the coins (they hadn’t, obviously). I guess there weren’t many other reasons the coins would no longer be there, so they figured I had swallowed the coins in my sleep and off to the hospital we went.

An x-ray or so later, we saw right where they were… in me.

The long and short of it was that the doctors told my parents that the coins would come out within a few days… from the other end.

I don’t think I’m impatient in most cases, but waiting for something or someone drives me crazy.

People wise, I think many people don’t value time these days. When did always being late because the normal?

And then how annoying was it to wait for your scores for those standardized tests for SATs, LSATs, or whatever you took? Those three weeks were way to much for me! I need to know how I did and I need to know now!

With my luck, things always get delayed and cancelled numerous times so the wait turns out to be extra long for me!

I could go on and on about this one — it’s so frustrating to see examples of this every day.

Has showing respect to our elders became a thing of the past? Is there no difference between how one should act around friends and how one should act around others (adults, parents, etc)?

I am not talking about joking around with the elders. I’m talking about kids not having the courtesy to hold the door open at a mall or at an eatery when they see an older person making their way through… or when they see a mother with a stroller or holding the hands of multiple children. I see it all the time — instead of doing so, some actually go out of their way to rush past it all.

How about the simple words like “please” and “thank-you”?

Observe, if you will, at a retail store next time you are there: it’s unbelievable how many consumers go up to a employee and pretty much demand “this in blue” or “this in a size 8″. How about politely requesting, instead of demanding?

There are just some things that I think should be universal because they are a right, not a privilege.

Two of these things are healthcare and education.

The poorest of the poor and the richest of the rich deserve the same, so why is it that money (or lack their of) dictates instead?

I don’t care that rich people can afford a house with three times the amount of bedrooms and bathrooms they need. I don’t care that rich people can afford to have multiple cars each and choose which car they feel like driving that day. I don’t care that rich people can waste thousands of dollars on a meal.

I just don’t care.

You know why? Because that’s a waste. It’s not necessary. It’s foolish.

I don’t bother thinking twice about that.

What frustrates me is the lack of quality education or education altogether for so many people because of where they live or because they can’t afford it.

Just think of how many people die on a regular basis because they couldn’t afford to be treated or purchase the necessary medicines… or live for years untreated when there is a treatment readily available.

It shouldn’t be this way. People deserve better.

It took us about seven hours yesterday to make a trip down to Virginia, when normally it takes 3-4 hours. We were stuck in traffic for pretty much the whole drive unfortunately. Can you imagine on how annoying that was?

Traffic is probably one of the things I have very little patience for. If there was a car accident or construction that closed off lanes leading to the traffic… fine, at least there is a reason for it. Traffic for no reason for a long drive is quite annoying.

Or what’s worse is when everyone slows down to look at someone that was pulled over by the police. Seriously? Is that necessary?

Remind me to never do another one of these blog challenges EVER.AGAIN.

While I like the idea of it, and applaud those who can do it each day without a problem…

It’s proving to be too much, and I hate the idea of HAVING to write a post every day. I would rather just write when I have something substantial to write about like I had been doing for the past several years. It’s always quality over quantity if you ask me.

In the beginning of this, I was afraid that I would get annoyed about writing which is something I never want to happen. While the first week or so went by great, boy has it become increasingly a TASK (especially in the last few days)!

Why not just stop now, you ask? I’ve never been one to do something half way. It’s like as assignment that I must complete.
